Chapter 855 - 854: Wrong Intel? No, It’s All True!

As the dust settled, the battlefield was laid bare before the eyes of every Sea Demon.

The Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers had retreated dozens of meters in unison. Their massive bodies swayed over the sea as dark green blood spilled from the corners of their mouths. Obviously, the previously confident Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers had all suffered significant injuries.

Opposite them, Gu Yuexi remained steadily hovering in midair. Her white dress was completely spotless, and even her breathing showed not a hint of disorder.

In the clash of Law moments ago, the seemingly formidable brothers had lost.

They had lost thoroughly!

They had lost without any suspense!

They had been utterly convinced of their defeat!

Actually, the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers had miscalculated one thing. Their Divine Body strength and total reserves of Divine Power were vastly superior to Gu Yuexi’s. If they had relied on their Realm advantage to launch a fierce assault against her, Gu Yuexi would have inevitably needed to expend some effort to kill them all.

However, the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers had stubbornly chosen to compete using the Law. And the Power of Law just happened to be the Power Gu Yuexi excelled in most!

By taking the initiative to clash with her in this way, they were practically seeking their own doom.

This was much like a foreign football team coming to Great Xia to play a match. They thought, "Since the Great Xia Kingdom has such tremendous national strength, their national team must be incredibly formidable." Thus, they deliberately picked out a team of civilian youths for a friendly match, only to be beaten ten to zero.

Losing so miserably wasn’t really the foreign team’s fault. It was purely because they picked the wrong opponents and walked right into the line of fire.

Truth be told, even though the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers had chosen the wrong method of attack, they couldn’t be called hopelessly stupid.

Whether under normal or abnormal circumstances, using the Power of Law from a higher Realm to crush someone in a lower Realm was always the safest choice. Neither humans nor demons would consider this approach wrong.

Unless, of course, the gap in Realm between the two sides wasn’t that large.

For example, in a battle between a Void Refining Realm Peak Cultivator and a Cultivator at the Early Stage of Void Refining Realm. In such a situation, it was possible for the lower Realm’s Law Comprehension to surpass that of the higher Realm.

But this was a battle between three Integration Realm Peak Cultivators and a single Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer.

That was a difference of nearly three Grand Realms!

Whether in conventional or unconventional circumstances, the difference in Law Comprehension between the two sides should logically have been worlds apart!

In fact, it truly was worlds apart. It was just reversed.

Gu Yuexi, who was at the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer, possessed a Law Comprehension that far exceeded that of the three Integration Realm Peak Sea Demons! If word of this got out, absolutely no one would believe it.

"B-Big brother..." The second brother of the Flying Shark Sea Demons swallowed hard, its voice trembling slightly. The look in its eyes as it stared at Gu Yuexi was filled with terror. "Is this Female Cultivator really only at the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer? Could we have seen it wrong?"

The Flying Shark eldest brother opened its mouth but didn’t know how to answer.

They had swept Gu Yuexi with their Divine Thought more than once. The specialists within the Sea Demon Army dedicated to detecting enemy strength had also tried more than once.

Yet, the result was exactly the same every single time. Her aura was perfectly stable, and her Cultivation was plainly and clearly at the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer. Moreover, she had just broken through from the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer.

This absolutely couldn’t be faked!

But why?

Why could a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer have such a ridiculously high Law Comprehension? She had actually easily suppressed the Law Fusion Technique jointly unleashed by the three of them at the Integration Realm Peak. She had even damaged their Origins in the process!

The Flying Shark Brothers racked their brains but still couldn’t figure out the reason. In this moment, they felt as if their entire worldview had been severely shattered!

It wasn’t just the Flying Shark Brothers who couldn’t understand.

The Sea Demon Commander, who led an army of thousands and had seen countless Human Race Cultivators, was equally baffled. Standing at the forefront of its army, it stared intently at that slender white figure on the city wall, its brows furrowed into a deep knot.

Why would the Law Comprehension of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator be so absurdly strong? This completely defied common sense!

The Sea Demon Commander took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in its heart, and ordered a subordinate nearby, "Go, immediately investigate the background of this Human Race Female Cultivator. Make it fast!"

The subordinate didn’t leave to carry out the order but hesitated for a moment. Then, stepping forward, it lowered its voice and said, "Commander, there is no need to investigate. Someone from the Human Race’s side has already sent over the information on that Female Cultivator on the city wall."

"What???" The Sea Demon Commander suddenly widened its eyes, turning to look at its subordinate in utter disbelief. "Who sent it? Our spies planted within the Human Race? That’s impossible! Since when do they have the capability to uncover such vital information so quickly?"

The subordinate shook its head with a bitter smile, its expression incredibly peculiar. "It wasn’t sent by our spies, it was..."

The subordinate paused, clearly unable to believe the answer itself. "It was sent secretly by a few key generals of the City Guard Army."

"Hajimi???"

The Sea Demon Commander was instantly dumbfounded. The City Guard Army generals of the Human Race had completely exposed their own side’s trump card to the enemy? No matter how one looked at it, this didn’t make any sense!

It must be false information used to confuse them and lure them into a trap!

The Sea Demon Commander immediately made a judgment, its tone resolute. "The information must be fake. It’s a Human Race trick. They want to deliberately mislead us and lure our army deep into their territory."

But the subordinate replied helplessly, "Commander, we have already verified it with the spies planted within the Human Race. All the information regarding this Female Cultivator is true. There is no fabrication."

The confidence on the Sea Demon Commander’s face froze instantly, turning into astonishment.

While gathering detailed information on a person might take a long time, verifying the authenticity of existing intelligence was much faster. Therefore, as long as their spies hadn’t collectively defected, the intelligence sent by the City Guard Army generals absolutely couldn’t be fake.

But the problem was, the Human Race and the Sea Demon Race weren’t even the same Race! It was completely impossible for the Sea Demon Race spies to defect!

What baffled the Sea Demon Commander even more was the fact that the Human Race and the Sea Demon Race were sworn enemies. Why would generals within the Human Race send them intelligence? Were they completely brain-dead?

Forcing down the doubts in its heart, the Sea Demon Commander waved its hand, temporarily dismissing this mind-bending question. "Let’s put that aside for now. What exactly is this Female Cultivator’s background?"

The subordinate immediately answered, "Reporting to the Commander, her name is Gu Yuexi. She possesses extremely high Law Comprehension, and she is a Beast Tamer."

The Sea Demon Commander frowned at the subordinate, waiting for the rest. "And then?"

The subordinate shook its head. "There is no ’and then.’ That is all the intelligence provided."

The Sea Demon Commander looked entirely bewildered. "It’s that simple? A Beast Tamer capable of killing enemies three Grand Realms above her, and that’s all the information they have?"

The subordinate first nodded, then as if remembering something, shook its head again. "There seems to be one supplementary piece of information. It said... it said..."

The subordinate thought for a long time before finally recalling it, its tone carrying a hint of uncertainty. "It said that Gu Yuexi has a Beast Pet she always keeps by her side."

The Sea Demon Commander’s eyes lit up, but its heart skipped a beat.

Here it comes!

Here comes the main point!

Gu Yuexi hadn’t summoned her Beast Pet yet, so she was definitely saving it as a trump card to turn the tables at a critical moment. Since she herself was already this powerful, her Beast Pet surely wouldn’t be weak either. It might even be some kind of ancient Alien Species.

Amidst the Sea Demon Commander’s earnest anticipation, the subordinate spoke slowly, its tone carrying a peculiar edge.

"It seems... it seems to be a Mosquito?"
